It may land here in South Korea which would start a war. I guess I'll be stocking up on food and water

Hopefully they knock the thing out of the sky over the ocean and teach them a lesson.

I always wanted to see that place when going through Inchion airport. But was going a different direction.

Expect more repercussions within North Korea than without if Japan spanks the Onion Sexiest Man Alive's space program.

isn't going to stop trying until he can start WWIII

and grow up.

North Korea has disease, cholera and the worst human rights record in the WORLD. If it were not for their buddy China, they would not have money.

Oh well, the North Korean people must like their system.

Or if it even gets off the ground?

Oh right...

But they have to shoot it in the direction of the earths rotation to get additional speed to make it into orbit.

Not that I think it's a communication satellite.

I'm hoping a little miscalculation sends the missile screaming over China. Not that might change the far east dynamic....

Which I doubt will happen, seen as these things usually explode 5 minutes after takeoff....

and reportedly got close to the Aleutians back in 1998, so there's always the possibility that this next one won't be a dud.

To be able to shoot a high speed missile with another missile! That was impossible just short time ago.

... as opposed to just mouths claiming that it "would" happen.

(Rather like the thought of NK getting a satellite into a stable orbit.)
